Even if my heart is broken,
It still runs searching for you.
The tears spilling past my eyelids
Are searching for your feet.
If jasmines rest upon the eyes,
Can the eyes ever sleep?
Why did you strike like thunder and leave?
Are you a passing cloud?
Oh dark-eyed girl, look at me just once,
Oh sweet-speaking girl, reach out your hands and come,
Speak so your fragrance spreads, you who torment my heart,
I will stay still and listen, nodding along.
Oh dark-eyed girl, look at me just once,
Oh sweet-speaking girl, reach out your hands and come,
Speak so your fragrance spreads, you who torment my heart,
I will stay still and listen, nodding along.
How could I ever blame time,
When it gave you into my hands?
That alone... that alone...
What can I do to break this distance?
What can I do?
Without you, even the bright daylight turns to night... hmmm mm mm
Without you, who I am
Is nothing at all.
There is no such thing as tomorrow
Left in my life.
Oh dark-eyed girl, look at me just once,
Oh sweet-speaking girl, reach out your hands and come,
Speak so your fragrance spreads, you who torment my heart,
I will stay still and listen, nodding along.
Oh dark-eyed girl, look at me just once,
Oh sweet-speaking girl, reach out your hands and come,
Speak so your fragrance spreads, you who torment my heart,
I will stay still and listen, nodding along.
Oh dark-eyed girl......
Oh sweet-speaking girl......
Oh dark-eyed girl, look at me just once,
Oh sweet-speaking girl, reach out your hands and come,
Speak so your fragrance spreads, you who torment my heart,
I will stay still and listen, nodding along.
